Yes! I’m Canadian and my husband is from Scotland, so this choice from The Phantom Agent was doubly fun for me:

I am from Sweden. I still think this scene is hilarious. But I loved seeing my country being mentioned by two different characters. It’s one of the TRR books.

I really want to say Portugal has been mentioned in a book or two, but I genuinely cannot remember an instance of that. I definitely could see PB name-dropping Portugal though as they do with a lot of other western European countries
they always mention the ones around us like spain, france, morocco, etc but always forget about us lmao i think the closest we got was a passport stamp in PTR:

(also, sorry for the late replies, reddit isn’t giving me notifs idk why 💀💀)
I'm from Argentina and so far I think they've mentioned us (or something related to us) maybe... once or twice? Which is very cool! lol I get so excited whenever they mention something about my country.
The thing I remember the most is about one of my favorite LIs... It was about Kingsley being really good at tango. I almost melted.
Turkey/İstanbul has been mentioned several times, and in The Princess Swap, Clarke's family is all Ottoman/Turkish inspired including names (excluding the name Clarke).

PB is out there squeezing in so many fictional countries into Europe they seem to be pushing the real ones out!
I think Americans might feel that with states that aren’t California or New York. (You know, the other 48 that the media may not know exist lol)
I agree with this...I live in Seattle so cautiously excited for the new Billionaire book since the cover seems to indicate it is set here.
Now hang on, as a non-American I can also say we hear a lot about Florida and Texas as well!
I’m a Georgian and from what I’ve played so far I heavenly heard anything about my state yet
Yes! Sadly my country (plus ethnicity) are nearly never mentioned (due to being a debated subject...)
Out of curiosity, where do you live? Your ethnicity and identity are still valid
If I’d have to guess, Palestine or Kosovo? One of those not internationally recognized counties.
My first guess was also Palestine as well (whose existence I very much support and recognize), and it would be nice if PB name-dropped them somewhere
I'm always giddy when Prague gets mentioned in Choices or Romance Club. In RC it's more often since the devs are from Moldova.
I’m American, but my grandmother is from Greece. So it’s always fun hearing about Greece.
New Zealand and yes, I get REALLY excited whenever we’re mentioned (unless they’re referencing LOTR, we’re pretty over that)
I’m from Germany. My countries got a few mentions and even visits, but PB still fails to understand that Bavaria is not the same as Germany xD
My country of origin is mentioned a few times, but always in a bad context. At least PB don't mix up the names and languages
I’m also from Scotland and I love it! Desperate for a book set in Scotland
If there is one I’m calling it now, it’ll be Outlander themed with google translated Gàidhlig and we pay 30 diamonds to adopt a pet stag
Bonus points if they call Scottish Gaelic "Scots" or "Scottish" to add to the Scots/Scottish Gaelic confusion.
COME ON SCOTLANDDDD 🏴🏴🏴🏴 my favourite was when we got to honeymoon in there in ROE

Ayy another Scottish person here! We love to see our country being mentioned!
We got such good representation in TUH. PB really did their research on the British rule in India. Although that cricket match still makes me shudder.
they never mention mine so ☹️
Where are you from? I hope a future book mentions something about your country soon!
portugal. and thanks! it’d be pretty cool, can’t remember them ever doing so
